Fun at The Cedars

Lovely property in forestry setting and short walk to the lake. Roomy with good seating and two televisions making it perfect for a large family with children. Wood burning stove and a well equipped kitchen, and nice, clean bedrooms. Utility room very warm and great for drying clothing and wet suits.Host very approachable. A bit muddy with puddles outside front door but understandable in the setting of the Lake District!

Beautiful house in a fantastic peaceful location!

Absolutely loved our stay here, house is a great size, very clean, location on the estate is beautiful. Only a couple of negatives was that the outside patio, tables and BBQ weren't clean, we cleaned the patio ourselves and some of the house needs some repair, like doors, tiles and floors very creaky but other than that, had a lovely stay and Lois is a very good communicator..

Fabulous private spacious house

Lovely property hidden away in a gorgeous forested area on the shores of Windermere close to a lake district town centre. Spacious, clean, comfortable. We had a summer stay so weather conditions warm but there was a stove and heating. Suitable for energetic primary school age kids. Would stay again, happy with it.

Lovely house in quite location

Great house and well appointed with lots of bedroom space. Kitchen a bit small for 10 adults but expect it would not be a problem for families. Access to lake windermere was amazing and it felt very private. A few problem with upstairs shower but maintenence person turned up immediately. Would stay again

Yearly get together of 10 ladies

Very comfortable place to stay with plenty of everything in the kitchen. The BBQ and outside areas weren’t very clean. Despite this it was overall a fantastic place to stay. Superb view 2 mins from the property and plenty of trails. The 505 bus will pick up with a hand signal and drop off at the property

Great house, perfect location

Lovely spacious house and well equipped. Excellent communication from Lois prior to our stay. The location is wonderful, we saw lots of wildlife from the house and enjoyed walks and cycles straight from the door. Close enough to Ambleside to nip in for some groceries or a takeaway, yet feels secluded and private at the house. Comfortable beds, very clean, modern bathrooms, excellent utility room. Highly recommended.

Adventure and relaxation

5 couples and 2 children stayed for a week of adventure and relaxation. the accommodation was fabulous and suited us perfectly, especially the ease of letting all of us to eat and sit together. The bedrooms were great. Most impressive was the location. We swam, kayaked, paddle boarded, ran, mountain biked, climbed all from the front door. And then we relaxed. in front of the fire. A brilliant family adventure holiday.

Great Property

The property and location were perfect for our family. Lots of space to get together, lovely views, warm, clean and comfortable nights. Super to be so close to the Lake and nature. House overall well equipped. A larger fridge and freezer in the Utility Room would be appreciated. Also hooks in there to hang wet walking clothing and a rack to dry shoes. Everyone enjoyed their stay. Thankyou Lois.

Beautiful House

We stayed over Christmas in this wonderful house, which is beautifully presented. It is modern with everything you need for a wonderful holiday. With enough bedrooms for everyone and plenty of space. A lovely setting with wildlife all around - we saw deers and squirrels which the kids loved. The house is a real haven away from it all. Just a short walk to the lake and so very peaceful. Not far into Ambleside and close to the Drunken Duck for a fab lunch or dinner! Lois is also a great host and very communicative. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous getaway in a quiet location

We had a fabulous few nights over New Year. Everything about the house is beautiful. It is finished to a high end and has everything you will need and all mod cons. The location is perfect too! A stone's throw from Lake Windermere and nestled in quiet woodland. We saw and heard plenty of wildlife whilst there. You are straight out onto beautiful walks and only a few minutes drive to Ambleside. There were 6 adults and 2 teens and we were more than comfortable. Will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Lois King

Host profile image
My husband, Jon, and I fell in love with the Lake District some years ago. For me, it was all about the views and the afternoon teas, but I am gradually coming round to the idea of climbing mountains. Jon has been known to 'avoid the traffic' by taking the kayak across Lake Windermere to the pub at Watersedge. Our two young children love joining us at 'our holiday home'; we will have them climbing Helvellyn before too long!

Why they chose this property

As frequent visitors to the Lake District, we fell in love with the location of Pullwood Bay, the tranquility of The Cedars' woodland setting, and the ability to wander down to the lakeshore.

What makes this property unique

Wake up to sound of silence, start up the built in coffee maker, and wander down to the lakeshore to watch sunrise over Ambleside. After a day's walking in the nearby fells, kayaking on Lake Windermere, either stop to sample the food and beverages at the renowned Drunken Duck or fire up the BBQ and retire to a position by the cosy log fire.
